- Compose is a Windows application with four major uses:
-
- 1. Allows easy access to characters not found on your keyboard
- such as the 1/2 half symbol, the cents symbol, accented
- characters, etc.
-
- 2. Allows easy access to the individual characters of a font.
- This can be quite helpful for symbol and dingbat fonts.
-
- 3. Allows easy access to the current date and time.
-
- 4. Previewing of the many scalable typefaces (commercial and
- public domain) that are rapidly becoming available for
- Windows. You can preview a font from a window or you can
- preview all the characters on paper by printing the
- entire font in the point size and style that you desire.
-
-
- Installing Compose
-
- Installation is quite easy: put the Compose floppy in drive A:,
- and type WIN A:\SETUP. You'll be prompted for a directory in
- which to install Compose.
-
- If you have a previous version of Compose, you may want to
- save your COMPOSE.DAT file. After installing Compose you can
- compare the new COMPOSE.DAT with your COMPOSE.DAT and update
- it accordingly.
-
-
- Starting Compose
-
- Starting Compose is also quite easy. Like any Windows application
- you can start it in one of four ways:
-
- 1. From the DOS command line: WIN COMPOSE
-
- 2. Double-click on the Compose icon that was added to
- your "Main" group when you installed Compose.
-
- 3. Add Compose to your "load=" or "run=" line in WIN.INI
- to start Compose automatically each time Windows
- starts up.
-
- 4. Use the Program Manager's File/Run dialog box to
- start it.
-
-
- Compose Help
-
- Once Compose has been started, you may get an overview of what
- Compose is by selecting "Overview" from the "Help" menu.
-

- out COMPOSE.BUG and email it to cummings@pixel.enet.dec.com.
